[1] Haas committed to Purdue on November 18, 2013. [2] Haas' primary reason for committing to Purdue was due to the university's ability to develop its tall players, saying "It's great exposure, and under Matt Painter, almost every 7-footer who went to Purdue went to the NBA." Haas, who originally committed to Wake Forest, was a four star and top 100 recruit. [3]

[9] He also had 21 points and four blocks to lead the Boilermakers to a win against Maryland. [10] Haas scored 15 points in 16 minutes in Purdue's 82–67 win over Butler on December 16, but was limited by four fouls. [11] He was named to the Third Team All-Big Ten.

[12] On May 17, during the 2018 NBA Draft Combine, it revealed that Haas was not only the tallest player at the event that year, being near 7'3" in shoes, but he was also the heaviest player at the event at 303 pounds.
